Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gripping device for a transport star or the like transport device, with pairwise arranged gripping arms for gripping and holding a vessel or the like body in a gripping position.
  • the present invention also relates to a star conveyor for vessels or the like body, with a rotatable base body and a plurality of gripping devices distributed over the circumference thereof according to the aforementioned type.
  • Such transport stars and gripping devices for transport stars are basically known, for example, from filling machines of the beverage industry. They serve to transfer, supply and discharge of vessels, in particular, but not exclusively of bottles such as beer, water or soda bottles, in an automated operation.
  • a transport star and the plurality of gripping devices arranged thereon are supplied with vessels, for example via conveyor belts, which are then picked up by the paired gripping arms of the gripping devices and taken by the rotating conveyor star from the feeding conveyor belt.
  • the transport star then rotates until the gripped vessels are in the correct position, for example above a laxative conveyor belt, where the gripping devices pass then the gripped vessels free.
  • the gripping and opening process is usually controlled automatically by means of appropriate control devices.
  • a gripping device which is arranged on the underside of a support ring of a transport star.
  • the gripper arms of each gripper are arranged in pairs corresponding to the support ring pointing radially outward and via a control device from the Schinnein the open position and vice versa movable.
  • the gripping arms themselves consist of gripping arms pointing radially outwards and counter-arms pointing radially inwards.
  • On the counter-arms a centering toothing is arranged such that the gripping arms are coupled in their movement between the open and closed positions with each other.
  • the gripping devices also consist of radially outwardly facing gripping arms. However, only with a gripping arm, a radially inwardly facing counter-arm is formed. This counter-arm abuts against a camshaft arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the main body, which forms the control element. By rotation of this camshaft, the gripping device is brought into a closed or open position. The pressing apart of the gripping arms from the closed to the open position by a compression spring, which takes place between the two radially Outside pointing gripping arms is arranged. So that the gripping movement is carried out uniformly, the two gripper arms are coupled together by a centering. Again, the cost of materials in the preparation of the gripping device is relatively high and beyond an adaptation to different vessels to be gripped relatively expensive.
  • EP 1 992 587 A1 discloses an apparatus for transferring containers having a rotating platform.
  • the platform carries a plurality of grippers with gripping arms which grasp the containers and hold them against a support, the support contributing to the positioning of the containers in the correct position.
  • the support is fixed with a screw.
  • the problem is to guarantee a precise positioning of a gripped vessel in the gripping area of the gripping device or on the transport star and moreover to produce the gripping device with a reasonable cost of materials.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a gripping device for a transport star and a transport star itself, which allows a cost-effective production of a secure and accurate gripping the vessels to be gripped or the like objects.
  • a gripping device for a transport star or similar transport device with pairwise arranged gripping arms for gripping and holding a vessel or the like body in a gripping position
  • the gripping device comprises at least one independent of the gripping arms positioning, which is formed in that it positions the vessel to be gripped at least along an axis in the gripping position.
  • this object is also achieved by a star conveyor for vessels or the like body, with a rotatable base body and a plurality of gripping devices distributed over the circumference thereof according to the aforementioned type.
  • the term "vessel” is understood to mean any article, and in particular any solid, which it applies in an automated process for gripping, transposing or positioning.
  • the positioning element is formed independently of the gripper arms in the gripping device. This "independent” thus refers u. a. to the arrangement within the gripping device and in particular to the fact that during a movement of the gripping arms or at least one gripping arm, the positioning element does not move or in any case independently of it.
  • the positioning element has at least one positioning stop on which the container to be gripped strikes at least in the gripping position.
  • one or more positioning stops can be used here.
  • the positioning stops are designed so that they center the vessel to be gripped in the planned gripping position or, should the vessel are outside this gripping position, facilitate positioning. This positioning can take place in interaction with the gripper arms, as will be described in more detail below.
  • At least one positioning stop is formed at least partially complementary to the outer contour of the vessel to be gripped.
  • An adaptation to the outer contour of the vessel can take place in one, two or three axes.
  • the positioning stop or stops are arranged relative to the gripping position of the vessel, that they effectively position this in the gripping position and in particular support.
  • the bottle bottom and the bottleneck would be preferred attachment points for one or more positioning stops.
  • the positioning stops are arranged as far as possible from the center of gravity of the vessel to be gripped
  • the gripping arms and the positioning element are arranged and formed relative to each other in such a way that the vessel to be gripped is urged against the positioning during the gripping operation.
  • the vessel to be grasped is "taken along" by the gripping arms and urged in the direction of the positioning element or its positioning stop.
  • the gripper arms at least partially complementary to the outer geometry of the vessel to be gripped, so that the vessel slips when grasping in an optimal gripping position and is thus urged against a correspondingly positioned and trained positioning stop of the positioning.
  • the positioning element or at least one positioning stop preferably has a corresponding adhesive coating which ensures reliable positioning of the vessel in the gripping position.
  • a corresponding adhesive coating may, for example, be a rubber coating which activates a high static friction force between the positioning member and the stopper and vessel.
  • the positioning element is preferably arranged at a mounting point on this central body, which in a viewing direction along the central body main axis between the pairwise corresponding Gripping arms lies. In this viewing direction, therefore, the gripping arms formally surround the mounting point of the positioning element, so that the positioning element is accommodated in a space-saving manner in the system network.
  • the positioning element for bisecting the angle is formed axially symmetrical, which is enclosed by the gripping arms in their gripping position.
  • a symmetrical design of the positioning element guarantees a space-saving gripping aid, with very accurate gripping performance. Due to the "between" the gripping arms arranged positioning, against which preferably the vessel to be gripped is urged by the gripping arms, creates a gripping device that allows reliable positioning with low material and space requirements even at high gripping files.
  • the positioning stop is adjustable relative to the gripping device along at least one axis by means of an adjusting device.
  • This adjustability of the positioning stop allows adaptation to different vessels and moreover an adaptation to potentially inaccurate working gripping devices.
  • the adjusting device just allows such a displacement of the positioning stop in the end regions of the vessels to be gripped.
  • the positioning element has positioning stops which are arranged in these end regions of the vessel to be gripped.
  • the positioning element is rigidly arranged on the gripping device and in particular on a central body. This increases the accuracy with which the vessels to be gripped can be positioned in the gripping position.
  • Such an actuator may for example be a control device, which is in particular coupled to the control device for the gripper arms, so that the movement of the positioning takes place at the same time or coupled with the movement of the gripper arms.
  • the positioning element can be in operative connection with a camshaft whose cam control the gripper arms and which has a positioning cam which then moves the positioning element into its required position.
  • the positioning element is arranged detachably on the central body via a mounting device. This allows the adaptation to different vessels and the equipment of existing gripping devices with the positioning, if necessary. Thus, it is possible, for example, to equip a transport star with gripping devices with positioning elements only when their gripping accuracy wears off due to worn components.
  • the mounting device on a mounting extension on the central body and a mounting receptacle on the positioning or vice versa which can be brought together in a releasable operative engagement.
  • the possibility provided by the invention relates to the formation of a tongue and groove system in which a corresponding T-shaped spring protrudes on the gripping device, via which the positioning element can then be pushed parallel to the extension axis of the central body with a corresponding complementary receptacle.
  • the mounting device can be designed such that it allows a tool-free mounting and / or dismounting of the positioning element.
  • a corresponding spring-loaded pressure pin on the mounting device, which engages behind a mounting extension on the gripping device in the locked state and thus locks the positioning element on the gripping device. A pull on this spring-loaded pressure pin, the lock can be solved and remove the positioning.
  • the interchangeability of the positioning allows an adaptation of the gripping device to different vessels, the speed and simplicity of the change reduces the life of the equipment and thus saves costs.
  • the positioning element is made of an injection-molded plastic.
  • the resulting injection-molded component allows the cost-effective equipment of the gripping device with the positioning element according to the invention.
  • the positioning stop is preferably adjustable by means of an adjusting device relative to the gripping device along at least one axis.
  • different adjustment elements ie replacement components, length and shape changeable components, adapters, etc.
  • the positioning element is designed in several parts, wherein it has at least one main body and at least one positioning stop, which can be connected to one another via corresponding mounting means.
